HAMILTON - Shown the door in Cowtown, Henry Burris has now been shown the door in Steeltown, opening a new door that may eventually land the future hall of fame quarterback in Winnipeg.

In the CFL, anything is possible with the potential for side deals and back-door moves, but as of today the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are Zach Collaros’ team and Burris no longer has a team to call his own.

On Thursday, the Ticats announced both Collaros’ signing — after the second-year quarterback spent basically one day as a free agent — and the decision to release Burris following two years in the Hammer.

Burris, despite his inconsistent nature, can still play at a high level and he’ll find a home, but he’s on his last legs, perhaps best suited for a backup role for a Grey Cup contender, assuming he accepts it.

He deserved more than the one-sentence sendoff provided by the Ticats, but in fairness the franchise is moving forward with Collaros, who clearly merits all the attention.
